E4 means the overflow sensor has activated.Under the washer is a pan - with a sensor. If it gets any sort of water - it activates.You can remedy this issue by pulling ut the dishwasher, and tilting it up to about a 45 degree angle to empty the catch pan.This should solve your problem.

Hi, the E4 error means the water heater element does not work properly or the filter mesh is blocked. Most likely the heating element burned out/thermal fuse or Clean the filter mesh to resolve the problem.

The error code E4 means selector switch pads is stuck.
First try a hard reset. Unplug the unit for 10 minutes and then switch on the dishwasher. Most cases you won't get the error message.
If you still get the error message then you need to take to service center to get it repaired. Mostly, the inner connectivity between the pad and circuit board is loose/bad.

The E4 error is not usually associated with newer dishwashers. Older
Kenmore dishwashers with digital displays would show an E4 error when
the selector switch pads/buttons were stuck. You need someone In to look at it im afraid

Error e4 on Kenmore usually occurs when there is drain clogging or due to debris stuck in the bottom of the dishwasher. Drain out the excess water from the dishwasher, now remove the mesh and the filter. Now, check and remove any food material or debris stuck. Now pour 1-2 litres of luke warm water and let this water drain. After this replace the parts and run the dishwasher on eco mode without any tablets or soap. Try this 2-3 times and then reset the dishwasher by unplugging it for 5-10 minutes.

WATER BUCKET IS THE FAULT the switch is more likely the cause try removing bucket and pressing lever manualy by hand then start it up again if it works you know the prob as this was mine the plastic connection aint the best
